  This place used to be the old Penalty Box until the new owners came and gave the place an upgrade. Friendly bar-staff and Cool atmosphere - great karaoke on Friday nights!

  Music great.  Food ok.  Service sucked.  We ask how long it would take and we got the response.."idk im not a wizard"....really?  Bartender was so rude.  Our food came out and sat on the bar and the bartender was in back,on her phone.  The cook came out again and we ask if we could pick up our food and she put her hands up and said "not my problem, im just the cook"We left after we got the food.  It was a shame cause it was pretty good food but again the service...ugggg  Music was great but didnt hear much cause we were so,offended.

  This review is coming strictly from the point of view of a musician who played a show here, but I have to say... I like The Parlour. I think Providence needs a bar and venue like this. The beer selection is awesome, the bartenders are cool as hell, the crowd loves music and loves to dance, and it's an easy place to pack and bring that energy of a full crowd to. Greg really installed a top notch sound system here, and this was one of the first full band shows I've played in literally years that I could hear my vocals on stage. The fans who came to see us said that we sounded better here than we did at The Middle East Downstairs opening for Penguin Prison. Kudos, Greg. That's a big compliment.

  A great, low-key spot to bro'down with some friends.
  Since the new owners have taken over, this great little neighborhood pub has undergone a much needed facelift.
  I popped in here one night to grab a quick beer with a buddy of mine, and was quickly sucked in to a vortex of delicious New England craft beers, highly inappropriate photo hunt, and an eclectic music selection. We ended up staying hours longer then we had intended, and made some fun new friends (who I believe now have a dj night here??). Definitely a great new place to lubricate your brain.

  This place is a revamped version of the Box, which was the previous business at this location.
  While the divey qualities still remain, it's still a ton of fun with some welcome additions. The beer selection has vastly improved with an expanded range of IPAs and seasonals. Plus, the menu is pretty appetizing.
  
  Besides the bar shenanigans the week is filled with happenings like live music and trivia. Taken altogether, the venue makes for some fun times. I've always been a fan of the location as it's easy t walk to and parking is relatively easy to find. Try it out, always worth a  drink here.
